The autopkgtest for cataclysm-dda seems to be intermittently failing
on multiple architectures. When testing a proposed update to a package
it depends on (such as libsdl2 or unifont), the test failure is assumed
to be a regression in the updated package, which can delay or prevent
testing migration.

For example, when tried on arm64 on 2022-05-28 21:23:19 UTC with
src:unifont from unstable, it failed with:

but when retried with the same package set on 2022-05-29 22:13:21 UTC, it
passed. Similarly, on i386 there have been several recent failures that
succeeded when retried:

including this one while trying to test a new revision of libsdl2:

If possible, please make this test-case more reliable. Alternatively,
if it is known not to be reliable enough to act as a QA gate, please
mark it with "Restrictions: flaky" in debian/tests/control so that it
does not have a negative impact on other packages.
